Democratic Legislature should thus
discriminate against the agricultural and
in favor of the pasture interest? But
discrimination does not stop here: The
lessee, by a species of special legislation,
which is probably unconstitutional, is ex-
empted from taxation on his lease, while
the settler, in addition to interest on his
purchase money, must pay taxes on his
purchase at its full value. In common
fairness why did not the Legislature eX-
tend this exemption to the settler as well
as the lessee, ct least to the extent of the
unpaid purchase money?
1t would be singular indeed if the Com
missioner was not infected with this par
tislity for the lessee, and did not repeat
it in the exercise of his large dis
creticn This discretlou-mark it
begins and ends with the sales
sytem, and with reference to
shat is so unrestricted as to amount TO
absolute control. The Legislature might
have condensed the sale features Of the
bill into the simple permission: ''DO with
the lands which you think wanted for
settlement as you will, so thst you
only sell TO actual settlers, and Go
not permit them to interfere
with leasing" pertinent question
which is being asked here daily IL by
what rules will the Commissioner be
guided in determining whether or not
lands are wanted for immediate settle
ment? Will he await the receipt of a
large batch of applications 10 purchase,
or will he depend upon private informa-
ton? The first method is not feasible.
since applications Csn not be made until
the lands are surveyed, classified and
valued, end under the laws these steps
are to follow the reservation Of the land
as "in immediate demand for settlement"
Ii the second plan is to be adopted thu
public would like to be informed who are
the Official counselOrs.
What is to be the standard of valuation?
It is understood that the agents will
merely make Typographical surveys aud
that MIR Hall will value the lands upon
their reports. From such q description
as "sandy," "clay," level," "unduf it
ing" etc the commissioner is eXpe$e led
to tx an accurate valuation upon la0ds
SOC miles distant. Such are some of the

A Fine Picture.

In Mr.. R. Fl. Knights picture frame and
artist material store, on Congress street, OPP
posite the head of Chestnut, may seen fine
picture which Mr.. James p. Baxter pur-
chased in Europe and has left there for
framing 1t represents a winter scene in
Russia, and the snow covered ground with
its icy crust, penetrated here and there by
the stalks of some small reeds, is well de-
picted. In the foreground Russian sledge
is drawn at rapid rate by two horses, one
harnessed to the conveyance, the other APP
parently attached by ropes to the sledge and
learning what it means to be draft horse
The one is driven by peasant who, clad in
his sheepskin coat kneels ON the rude boards
in the front of the sledge, while the reins
attached to the other are in the hands of an
other peasant similarly dressed to the first,
who crouches in the bottom of the sedge on
the straw. The second horse has lust been
bought at the horse fair and is being dis
ciplined. The breath from the horses nos
trils streams out on the cold air. the smoke
rises from their sweating sides, their heads
are arched, and the whole picture is full of
life and action. There are minor details that
will bear criticism, but on the whole it is a
very spirited painting As near as can be
made out the name of the artist is Jyzker
Jierkierz of Monschiem.

pEcEiviNc FARMERS.
BY Inducing Them to Give Notes
Under a MisconceptIon.

1t is reported that man is visiting the
towns of Limington, Parsonsfeld, and 9TH
ers in that neighborhood, who has some
newly patented churns, pruning knives and
other agricultural implements for sale. He
stops at farmers house, gets him interested
in his goods, and then urges him to purchase.
The farmer tells him he has no ready cash
on hand, when the man says that his note
for the amount for thirty or sixty days, will
be taken. The amount is small, about eight
dollars, and the note is made, emitting the
time, but bearing the words mot transfer
able" After the agent gets away from the
farmers he adds an ''e'' to the word mot"
making it read mote transferable" or de-
mand note. This the agent easily gets
cashed, and the farmer suddenly finds HIM
self called to pay for articles he supposed he
was to have credit for some time. 1t is
said large sum has been made by the agent
on these notes.
